Need ideas for celebrating Dad's special day? Check out this list for inspiration!

Whether he's an old pro at daddy-duty or looking forward to his first Father's Day, make this June 17th special by celebrating the number one guy in your life. Spend time together doing activities that involve the whole family -- and use these ideas as inspiration for a dad-centric day of fun!

Take a Family Bike Ride

Bond over the joys of observing the world at a leisurely pace and the fantastic feel of the wind in your hair by going for a bike ride en famille. If you're not already outfitted with equipment for everyone, rent bikes and a chariot for little kids, or ask around to borrow from friends for the day. Don't forget the helmets!

Compete in a Family Olympics

Your sports hubs will be totally down with a day full of friendly competition. To keep hurt feelings at bay, choose teams at random and then compete in age-appropriate events like a hula hoop marathon, egg relay, obstacle course, sack race and more. If you really want to go all out, buy some cheap medals to award at the end -- and don't forget to queue up the national anthem!

Interview Daddy

Sure, your kids love their dad, but how well do they really know him? Have the kids come up with and write down questions beforehand about his childhood, how he met Mommy, his favorite things about being a dad, and more. Then record their Q&A with him using your phone. If you're inclined, add photos to the audio file to create a multimedia keepsake.

Celebrate Dad Through the Years

Spend some time putting together a scrapbook of your man's important photos and mementos, and then present it to him on Father's Day. Look through it together as a family -- your kids will love seeing pictures (and hearing stories) of when dad was a chubby baby, or how he lost his two front teeth. If your kids are old enough, encourage them to make dad a special Father's Day card that can be the last entry in the book.

Start a Game Night Tradition

From Scrabble to soccer to story-telling games like "Imagine This" -- where each round of the game begins with the first speaker introducing the start of a story ("Imagine this: You are a princess in a castle..." and other family members filling in the rest) -- use this Father's Day as an excuse to start a family game night tradition. Mix it up each week by letting each family member take a turn at deciding what game to play.

Have a Family Car Wash

Even if dad has traded his sports car for an SUV, he probably still wants his "other" baby to shine like new. So plan a Father's Day car wash-slash-water fight. You'll need several large buckets, soap, sponges, a hose with spray head, clean rags, vacuum cleaner, glass cleaner and paper towels for the car -- and swimsuits and lots of towels for all the participants!

Plan a Picnic

Take family dinner (or lunch) outdoors by planning a picnic. Whether you go to a nearby park, or simply park your brood in your own backyard, dining al fresco is a fun change of pace for the whole family. Pack a waterproof picnic blanket, disposable (or plastic) dinnerware and cups, plenty of napkins and a variety of yummy, Dad-approved food: Fried chicken, fruit, deviled eggs and cupcakes for dessert!

Support Your Home Team

If Dad's a sports nut, treat your family to an afternoon ball game. Sure, tickets to major league games can cost major league money but consider less prominent options that may exist in your area, like a minor league or college teams. Load up on hot dogs, have your kids get their picture taken with the mascot -- and watch Dad revel in an afternoon of sports-fan heaven.

Plan an Outdoor Adventure

You don't have to be a hardcore hiker to enjoy a family trekking on a nature trail. You'll get good exercise, and your kids will love looking at all the different bugs, plants and wildlife they encounter. Just remember to wear sturdy, comfy shoes -- and pack plenty of water, snacks, hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, bug repellent and an emergency kit containing band-aids and antibiotic ointment.

Watch Your Home Videos

Think about it: When was the last time you watched all of your home videos? Unearth those DVDs and share them with your kids, beginning with the earliest one -- your kids will love seeing their baby selves trying the solid food for the first time and learning to walk. You can even pop in your wedding DVD so your kids can witness one of the other big days in your lives!

Get Grilling

Guys love to grill -- and kids love to help! (Add those two things together, and you get mom's night off from dinner duty!) But instead of slapping a piece of cheese on top of a boring old burger, hide a chunk of cheese in the middle to make a "burger surprise." Buy a grill as a gift for your Dad on Father's Day, and form burger patties and let your kids stuff a chunk of cheese (approximately 1-by-2-inch) in the middle of each. (Make sure they wash their hands well after!) Then let Dad grill as usual. Your kids can also fill foil packets with veggies for a fun and healthy grilled side dish.

Have a Basketball Bonanza

Visit a local gym or park and challenge your family to:

• Dribble for five minutes.

• Make 10 free throws in a row.

• Try 15 lay-up or dunk shots, even if they don't get the ball into the basket.

• Pass the basketball back and forth to each other, taking a step back after every five throws.

• Pass the ball between the legs and behind the back.

If your kids are too young for some of these skills, let Dad demonstrate the moves, and have him help lift your little ones to the basket so they can "slam dunk" the ball themselves.
